“Davis is a pioneer in a new art form—part photographer, part digital illusionist. He sees software and computer monitors as the new paintbrush and canvas… A renowned artist whose work has been widely published and collected, Davis is recognized for his night photography with its experimental ultra-long exposure techniques, vibrant and saturated colors, and composition. He’s also a master of what he calls the impossible image: photo composites that appear realistic, but upon closer inspection are surreal or manifestly impossible in the real world. A third theme is his creative florals and biological images which are often combined with digital painting to create pleasing, unusual effects.”—Rangefinder Magazine
